In America, taxes are voluntary but if you choose to not pay, you’ll be forced to ‘voluntarily’ comply

While you might think that voluntary means something which is “done without compulsion or  obligation” or “done, made, brought about, undertaken, etc., of one’s own accord  or by free choice,” when it comes to America’s “voluntary” tax system, it’s  quite the opposite.

If you freely choose not to voluntarily participate in the tax system, you  will enjoy being raided by armed agents, prosecuted and sent to federal prison.  Quite the voluntary system indeed.

Furthermore, there are some practices that are clearly in no way voluntary.  When income taxes are withheld from paychecks, for example, there is nothing  voluntary about it.
